Season 11 of the acclaimed whodunit drama Murdoch Mysteries returns to ITV CHOICE (DStv Channel 123) Wednesdays at 20:00 and streaming live on DStv Now – with two episodes showing back-to-back for a nine-week run.

Based on novels by Maureen Jennings, William Murdoch (Yannick Bisson) is a methodical and dashing detective who pioneers innovative forensic techniques to solve some of the city’s most gruesome murders, while struggling against tradition and prejudice. Step into this intriguing world set in Toronto at the dawn of the 20th century, and get a glimpse of the evolving manners of Victorian-turned-Edwardian society. Real history is an important element in most episodes, and the plots, though fictitious, sometimes involve real people, including Alexander Graham Bell and Hellen Keller,

Season 11 begins with Murdoch jailed and framed for the murder of a burlesque dancer. His constables were gunned down in an ambush, Brackenreid was last seen with a gun to his head, and the corrupt politician and his cronies responsible kidnapped Ogden. Murdoch must prove his innocence from behind bars, as Detective Llewellyn Watts helps covertly to solve the case.
